The document outlines the two stage approach taken by Ghent University to establish interdisciplinary research consortia aimed at societal impact (IDC). In stage one, five social science consortia were formed with dedicated coordinators and underwent research assessments focusing on strategy, quality, and impact. In stage two, the social science consortia transitioned to IDCs with open-ended coordinator contracts and were required to create impact plans. The university also began accepting applications for new IDCs and evaluated consortia and coordinators qualitatively based on organization, interdisciplinarity, and impact. The goal was to better support research with societal impact through dedicated structures, people, and assessment procedures.

TWO STAGE APPROACH
1. SSH Support Strategy
• 5 SSH consortia with dedicated research coordinators
• SSH Research Assessment Exercise + specific programme evaluation
2. IDC
• SSH consortia become IDC
• University-wide IDC

4
STAGE ONE - SSH Support Strategy
• 5 SSH consortia with dedicated research coordinators (postdocs with 5-year contracts)
supporting:
o Financial potential (both identifying funding opportunities and grant writing)
o Collaboration
o (Societal) Valorisation
• Selection procedure
o Consortium proposal (bottom-up, multidisciplinary topic, future potential, added value of coordinator)
o Selection committee > Faculty advice > Research Council > Executive Board
o Recruitment of coordinator (selection by consortium)

5
STAGE ONE - SSH Support Strategy
• SSH Research Assessment Exercise
o 5 Faculties during 5 years: Discipline-specific assessment by an external peer review
panel, including a site visit
o Self reflection on strategy, quality, and impact of research (using a amended template)
• Specific programme evaluation (mid-term): SWOT analysis
• Specific programme evaluation (final):
o Crucial role in collaboration and putting SSH and impact on the map
o Need for critical mass
o Specific versus generic role

6
STAGE TWO – IDC
• 5 SSH consortia becoming 4 IDC with dedicated coordinators (postdocs with open-ended
contracts):
o Organisation, Interdisciplinarity
o Impact: impact plan with joint impact trajectory
• Assessment procedure
o Assessment panel with representatives of Research Council and civil society (organisation,
interdisciplinarity, impact plan)
o Oral presentation and Q&A
• New career model

7
STAGE TWO – IDC
• University-wide IDC with dedicated coordinators (postdocs with open-ended contracts)
supporting:
o New or existing consortium: track record showing both scientific and societal impact
o Added value of coordinator
• Assessment procedure
o Preselection by interdisciplinary committee (focus on scientific excellence and added value of
coordinator)
o Assessment panel with representatives of Research Council and civil society: oral
presentation and Q&A (criteria: organisation 20%, interdisciplinarity 30%, impact plan 50%)
• New career model

8
STAGE TWO – IDC
• Evaluation process
o Evaluation of consortium (4 years) + evaluation of coordinator (2/4 years)
o Qualitative approach
o Deliverables (retrospective): organisation, interdisciplinarity, impact case study +
Planning (prospective): impact plan

Evaluation, data and metrics:Lessons from OECD Countries: THE UK

OECD CFE

The document discusses evaluation, data, and metrics for workforce development and local job creation programs in the UK. It notes that while evidence-based policy is aspired to nationally, it is more challenging to implement locally due to limited resources and changes to local governance structures. At the local level, the focus is more on formative rather than impact evaluation. Bringing innovation while also using data poses tensions around competition versus collaboration and transparency versus opacity. The document examines efforts in England to use a variety of evidence and data to inform local strategies, and challenges around strategic expertise, data capacity and sharing at the local level. It also introduces What Works Centres as a possible solution to strengthen the local evidence base.

David Adkins presented a framework for measuring sustainable development in maritime clusters beyond traditional economic indicators like GDP. The framework examines the relationships between cluster governance, social capital, and sustainable development. It consists of tools to evaluate social capital, cluster governance, and measures of environmental, social and economic sustainability. The tools are intended to help clusters learn about their strategic and operational impact rather than comparatively benchmark clusters. Limitations include making assumptions about firm engagement with sustainability.

This document discusses two important policy questions regarding science and innovation that require more data: 1) Tracking where highly trained students are placed after their education to better understand the role of education in fostering innovation and the transfer of knowledge to firms. Existing data focuses too much on placements in academia. 2) Collecting systematic cross-country data on the mobility of scientists and engineers to improve understanding of how mobility contributes to knowledge production and network formation, as well as the factors that influence mobility decisions. Existing mobility data is limited and misses information on those working in industry. The document calls for international action to routinely collect standardized data on student placements by sector and mobility patterns of highly trained individuals and refugees to inform science

Stakeholder participation and collaboration across disciplines are key to applying these principles.

141-Smith In search of indicators to support the perfect cluster

innovationoecd

This document discusses challenges in evaluating clusters and describes efforts to address these challenges. It begins by noting the lack of evaluation methods that can adequately capture the impacts of cluster policies, including their qualitative and collaborative elements. It then outlines a process that brought together academics, policymakers, and practitioners from 2012-2016 through workshops and conferences to identify key challenges. This included 1) capturing human/collaborative elements, 2) developing pragmatic indicators, 3) selecting evaluation techniques, 4) addressing complex interactions, and 5) emphasizing learning over auditing. Through this iterative process, the group developed an evaluation framework based on characteristics of an ideal cluster and a set of principles. They are now developing a survey tool to test this framework and better

Digital scholarly practices are evolving. Researchers now have online presences and share information via social media platforms, which can increase visibility and citations. Metrics now track how research is discussed online, through mentions on platforms like Twitter. While these "alternative metrics" or "altmetrics" correlate with citations, social media discussions do not necessarily predict traditional citation impact. Altmetrics provide additional contextual information about research impact and engagement beyond citations alone.

The cryptoterrestrial hypothesis: A case for scientific openness to a conceal...

Sérgio Sacani

Recent years have seen increasing public attention and indeed concern regarding Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). Hypotheses for such phenomena tend to fall into two classes: a conventional terrestrial explanation (e.g., human-made technology), or an extraterrestrial explanation (i.e., advanced civilizations from elsewhere in the cosmos). However, there is also a third minority class of hypothesis: an unconventional terrestrial explanation, outside the prevailing consensus view of the universe. This is the ultraterrestrial hypothesis, which includes as a subset the “cryptoterrestrial” hypothesis, namely the notion that UAP may reflect activities of intelligent beings concealed in stealth here on Earth (e.g., underground), and/or its near environs (e.g., the moon), and/or even “walking among us” (e.g., passing as humans). Although this idea is likely to be regarded sceptically by most scientists, such is the nature of some UAP that we argue this possibility should not be summarily dismissed, and instead deserves genuine consideration in a spirit of epistemic humility and openness.

Thane Heins

Document Summary and the History of Perpetual Motion Every single Faraday Generator coil since 1834 has been and is currently performing Negative Work at infinite efficiency with created Electromagnetic Field Energy during electricity generation and its physical Kinetic Energy reduction or Electromagnetic Resistance of the changing magnetic field which is initially inducing Electric Current in the generator coil according to Faraday's Law of Induction. The Work-Energy Principle confirms mathematically that the magnitude of the changing magnetic field's Kinetic Energy reduction is equal to the magnitude of Negative Work performed at infinite efficiency, which is equal to the magnitude of Energy (Electromagnetic Field Energy which is created according to Oersted's Law of Creation of Energy of 1820). Created Electromagnetic Field Energy is required in order to perform the Negative Work – because Work cannot be performed in the absence of Energy. In 2007 Thane Heins of Almonte Ontario, Canada discovered that unlimited amounts of Positive Electromechanical Work could be performed at infinite efficiency with created and TIME DELAYED Electromagnetic Field Energy. Every single ReGenX Generator coil since 2007 has been and is currently performing Positive Work at infinite efficiency with created Electromagnetic Field Energy during electricity generation and during its physical Kinetic Energy increase or Electromagnetic Assistance of the changing magnetic field which is initially inducing Electric Current in the generator coil according to Heins' Law of Induction. Faraday Electric Generators all harness internally Created Electromagnetic Field Energy in order to perform Negative Work (system Kinetic Energy reduction) at infinite efficiency and ReGenX Electric Generators harness internally created and Time Delayed Electromagnetic Field Energy in order to perform Positive Work (system Kinetic Energy increase) at infinite efficiency. Both Faraday Generators and ReGenX Generators operate as Perpetual Motion Machines of the First Kind because they both have the ability to perform both Negative or Positive Work indefinitely and at infinite efficiency without requiring any External Energy input. The unlimited Energy required to perform either the Negative or Positive Work is created at the Sub-Atomic Quantum Electron level inside the generators' Current Bearing Wires according to the Law of Creation of Energy. Hans Christian Oersted discovered the Law of Creation of Energy in 1820 when he demonstrated the world's first Perpetual Motion Machine of the First Kind at the University of Copenhagen when he also simultaneously violated Newton's 1st, 2nd and 3rd Laws of Motion. Michael Faraday built and demonstrated the world's second Perpetual Motion Machine of the First Kind in 1822 when he demonstrated his Electric Motor invention which harnessed created Electromagnetic Field Energy in order to perform Positive Electromechanical Work at infinite efficienc

Transmission Spectroscopy of the Habitable Zone Exoplanet LHS 1140 b with JWS...

Sérgio Sacani

LHS 1140 b is the second-closest temperate transiting planet to the Earth with an equilibrium temperature low enough to support surface liquid water. At 1.730±0.025 R⊕, LHS 1140 b falls within the radius valley separating H2-rich mini-Neptunes from rocky super-Earths. Recent mass and radius revisions indicate a bulk density significantly lower than expected for an Earth-like rocky interior, suggesting that LHS 1140 b could either be a mini-Neptune with a small envelope of hydrogen (∼0.1% by mass) or a water world (9–19% water by mass). Atmospheric characterization through transmission spectroscopy can readily discern between these two scenarios. Here, we present two JWST/NIRISS transit observations of LHS 1140 b, one of which captures a serendipitous transit of LHS 1140 c. The combined transmission spectrum of LHS 1140 b shows a telltale spectral signature of unocculted faculae (5.8 σ), covering ∼20% of the visible stellar surface. Besides faculae, our spectral retrieval analysis reveals tentative evidence of residual spectral features, best-fit by Rayleigh scattering from an N2- dominated atmosphere (2.3 σ), irrespective of the consideration of atmospheric hazes. We also show through Global Climate Models (GCM) that H2-rich atmospheres of various compositions (100×, 300×, 1000×solar metallicity) are ruled out to >10 σ. The GCM calculations predict that water clouds form below the transit photosphere, limiting their impact on transmission data. Our observations suggest that LHS 1140 b is either airless or, more likely, surrounded by an atmosphere with a high mean molecular weight. Our tentative evidence of an N2-rich atmosphere provides strong motivation for future transmission spectroscopy observations of LHS 1140 b.

Search for Dark Matter Ionization on the Night Side of Jupiter with Cassini

Sérgio Sacani

We present a new search for dark matter (DM) using planetary atmospheres. We point out that annihilating DM in planets can produce ionizing radiation, which can lead to excess production of ionospheric Hþ 3 . We apply this search strategy to the night side of Jupiter near the equator. The night side has zero solar irradiation, and low latitudes are sufficiently far from ionizing auroras, leading to a lowbackground search. We use Cassini data on ionospheric Hþ 3 emission collected three hours either side of Jovian midnight, during its flyby in 2000, and set novel constraints on the DM-nucleon scattering cross section down to about 10−38 cm2. We also highlight that DM atmospheric ionization may be detected in Jovian exoplanets using future high-precision measurements of planetary spectra.

Keys of Identification for Indian Wood: A Seminar Report

Gurjant Singh

Identifying Indian wood involves recognizing key characteristics such as grain patterns, color, texture, hardness, and specific anatomical features. These identification keys include observing the wood's pores, growth rings, and resin canals, as well as its scent and weight. Understanding these features is essential for accurate wood identification, which is crucial for various applications in carpentry, furniture making, and conservation. Additionally, the application of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) in wood identification has revolutionized this field. CNNs can analyze images of wood samples to identify species with high accuracy by learning and recognizing intricate patterns and features. This technological advancement not only enhances the precision of wood identification but also accelerates the process, making it more efficient for industry professionals and researchers alike.

Finding the best structure to support impact - case of IDC at Ghent University

1. FINDING THE BEST SUPPORT STRUCTURE FOR SOCIETAL IMPACT ECOOM 'Investigating the Societal Impacts of University Research – 28 November 2019 Esther De Smet and Noel Klima The case of the Ghent University Interdisciplinary Research Consortia aimed at Societal Impact (IDC)

2. Policy Partnerships & platforms People → Institutional policy plan (2015), Framework for Research Assessment (incl. career models), dedicated fund, matching comms → City of Ghent (de Krook, University Museum), Development cooperation, Scicomm Unit + GISMO & Altmetric → IDC with dedicated coordinator acting as knowledge broker 2

3. 3 TWO STAGE APPROACH 1. SSH Support Strategy • 5 SSH consortia with dedicated research coordinators • SSH Research Assessment Exercise + specific programme evaluation 2. IDC • SSH consortia become IDC • University-wide IDC

4. 4 STAGE ONE - SSH Support Strategy • 5 SSH consortia with dedicated research coordinators (postdocs with 5-year contracts) supporting: o Financial potential (both identifying funding opportunities and grant writing) o Collaboration o (Societal) Valorisation • Selection procedure o Consortium proposal (bottom-up, multidisciplinary topic, future potential, added value of coordinator) o Selection committee > Faculty advice > Research Council > Executive Board o Recruitment of coordinator (selection by consortium)

5. 5 STAGE ONE - SSH Support Strategy • SSH Research Assessment Exercise o 5 Faculties during 5 years: Discipline-specific assessment by an external peer review panel, including a site visit o Self reflection on strategy, quality, and impact of research (using a amended template) • Specific programme evaluation (mid-term): SWOT analysis • Specific programme evaluation (final): o Crucial role in collaboration and putting SSH and impact on the map o Need for critical mass o Specific versus generic role

6. 6 STAGE TWO – IDC • 5 SSH consortia becoming 4 IDC with dedicated coordinators (postdocs with open-ended contracts): o Organisation, Interdisciplinarity o Impact: impact plan with joint impact trajectory • Assessment procedure o Assessment panel with representatives of Research Council and civil society (organisation, interdisciplinarity, impact plan) o Oral presentation and Q&A • New career model

7. 7 STAGE TWO – IDC • University-wide IDC with dedicated coordinators (postdocs with open-ended contracts) supporting: o New or existing consortium: track record showing both scientific and societal impact o Added value of coordinator • Assessment procedure o Preselection by interdisciplinary committee (focus on scientific excellence and added value of coordinator) o Assessment panel with representatives of Research Council and civil society: oral presentation and Q&A (criteria: organisation 20%, interdisciplinarity 30%, impact plan 50%) • New career model

8. 8 STAGE TWO – IDC • Evaluation process o Evaluation of consortium (4 years) + evaluation of coordinator (2/4 years) o Qualitative approach o Deliverables (retrospective): organisation, interdisciplinarity, impact case study + Planning (prospective): impact plan
